I knew within the first week it was a scam as I'd been following Fauci and SARs for awhile. Knowing Fauci and Obama had set up Wuhan and Dick Lugar was involved in Ukraine were huge red flags. I tried to tell husband and family and was accused of lying and that I needed to shut up and not talk about conspiracy theories. The last five years (it actually started during Trumps first run for president when he was lapping up the polls showing Trump had zero chances of winning and I disagreed with him then) have been difficult. He at least knows cv jabs were bad now but still vuys into everything else msm and pharma spews. He still buys into pharmas advice on healthy eating and his health is not the best. But won't listen to the truth. He kinda acts like he wants to know but then makes out like im stupid/crazy to not follow big pharma advice.
... was accused of lying and that I needed to shut up and not talk about conspiracy theories.
I found a good way to talk about conspiracy (facts).
I have found that, generally, conversation is much better if I ask a preface question first.
"So, if you want to go down the conspiracy direction, I could tell you something interesting. Do you want to hear it?"
You will know by their answer if they are unwilling to use critical thinking. You will also find a decent amount of people who are EAGER to hear such things, and are fascinated by it.
Make a lead-in statement or question first, and they will sort themselves out. If they don't want to hear it, you know you are dealing with the brainwashed. These are potentially your enemies.
The ones who love talking about this stuff are potentially your friends.
By asking the lead-in question (or statement), you can avoid the brainwashed and not tell them anything because they will only ridicule and they will have no interest in learning the truth about the world. So, who needs 'em?
